An apology and a plan

I feel as if this post definitely should be started with an apology or perhaps seven. In the past month or so, my blog has been pretty much abandoned by me, with only scheduled posts going up. I’m afraid I can’t even make excuses about being busy. For two of these weeks I was on holiday, however I have had plenty of time to blog, but just chose not to. This makes me quite sad, as up until now, blogging has been a real joy and something I can’t stop doing.

I’m hoping as I start school in a few days, I will get back to a regular routine and start blogging again. I am really hoping the reason why I’ve been in a bit of a slump is becuase of my complete lack of routine over the summer.

To help myself stay motivated I am trying to set myself some realistic goals. I am aware that as I go into this big exam year, is ill have less time to blog, but I definitely don’t want to give up.
So this is my weekly plan of what I’m going to do with my free time every week:

Monday – Write a book review
Tuesday – Focus on reading an ARC
Wednesday – Writing my WIP
Thursday – Work on another post
Friday – Contacting publishers, authors and bloggers and organising
Saturday – Work on another post
Sunday – Work on blogging things I’ve made commitments to

Hopefully this plan will keep me organised as I go back to school so I can keep my blog going.

That’s all from me for now, however I do have a few quick questions for you,
How do you stay organised whilst blogging?
How do you stay motivated? Any tips?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Oh my, I’m experiencing the same thing with motivation at the moment (although mine stems from my complicated mental state that developed over the past few months).
I know the struggles of staying motivated and after asking for advice I have been told by some of my very close and loving blogger friends that taking a hiatus from blogging, be it a week or two weeks or a month, is totally okay. You can spend your time trying to relax and then spend time writing posts without the pressure of needing to post them soon.
And if definitely say organise a daily time in your day specifically dedicated to blogging. I am trying to do this to see how it works out!
Good luck, I give you all my best wishes and love! 💜

Phew! I am relieved to find out I’m not the only one who ever feels like this. I’m sorry you are also struggling with motivation. We’ll have to support each other. I’m also trying to dedictae a time for blogging each day so hopefully we both are successful with that. I also wish you the best of luck. Update me to let me know how you’re doing. I hope you didn’t your motivation again. X

This is the exact same thing I am struggling through. For me it’s lack of time and lack of inspiration when actually have time. Right now I am in the process of building slowly back up. If this means only a post a week, so be it. I suggest taking an extra few days to just sit down and plan. Think about how you want to start out and figure out how much time you have throughout the week. Best of luck during your blogging slump!

P.S. getting inspiration from other bloggers is something great if you are out of ideas, of course spin it into your own thing and don’t copy exactly!

I think I’m definitely going to take your advice and build slowly back up, rather than expecting myself to start back where I was. I am trying my hardest to set up a realistic plan, so wish me luck. Thank you so much for your advice and support. X
